When wiring a wall switch which color wire goes on the common terminal screws?
A typical switch doesn't have a Common screw in the strictest sense, it just has two screws which are each side of the switch. You probably have a a 3-way switch. If you are hooking up a 3-way switch as a normal switch, then connect the Black (Hot) wire to the common and the load to the side of the switch that makes UP the on direction and DOWN is off and doesn't get connected. You can determine for sure if you have a 3-way switch because the word ON and OFF don't appear on the toggle.
Can you plug your natural gas furnace into a 120 volt receptacle?
The furnace can be but it is not a good idea. Safety code requires a disconnect switch outside the area where the furnace is situated. This switch is used for an emergency shut down in case something electrically goes wrong with the furnace. In modern homes these furnaces are wired to a dedicated 120 volt circuit from the distribution panel. From the panel, the circuit is routed to the safety switch. From the safety switch, the circuit then continues to the furnace load.

Remove the light sensor and place a switch between the red and black wires. The black wire is one leg of the "hot" pair and the load is connected to the red wire. This will now switch the black hot through the red wire that goes to the load.
How do you replace a basic light switch that is mounted on the wall?
FIRST OF ALL YOU HAVE TO FIND OUT WHICH WIRE IS YOUR INCOMING POWER AND WHICH ONE GOES TO DEVICE. MOST ANYKIND OF ELECTRICAL VOLTAGE TESTER WILL WORK THAT GOES UP AND ABOVE WHAT YOU ARE TRYING TO TEST. GENERALLY SPEAKING THERE WILL BE A BLACK AND WHITE AND POSSIBLY A GROUND IN ANY OF THE CABLES COMING IN AS LONG AS ITS NOT A FOUR WAY OR THREE WAY.THE BLACK WIRE IS SUPPOSED TO BE THE HOT WIRE COMING IN AND YOUR WHITE IS THE NEUTRAL. THE BLACK WIRES ARE THE ONES THAT ARE SWITCHED AND ARE ATTACHED TO SWITCH ON THE SIDE . ON A SINGLE POLE IT DOESNT MATTER WHICH ONE GOES ON THE BOTTOM OT THE TOP THE SWITCH ,IT WILL STILL BREAK THE FLOW OF ELECTRICITY . THE WHITE WIRES ARE TIED TOGETHER AND PLACED AS FAR FROM ANY OF THE HOT FEEDS AS POSSIBLE FROM THE BLACK SWITCH LEGS. IF YOU HAVE THE GROUND WIRES , TWIST TIGHT TOGETHER LEAVE ONE OF THE WIRES LONGER AFTER TWISTING TO ATTACH TO THE GREEN SCREW ON OUTLET FOR GROUNDING IF NEW WIRE. OLDER HOUSES ( 50 YEARS OR SO DIDNT HAVE GROUND WIRES . ATTACH TO BOX AND MAKE SURE YOU HAVE VOLTAGE TO THE SWITCH BEFORE ATTACHING THE COVER.

How do you disconnect a light switch and outlet that are tied together?
If there is a black wire going from the outlet to the switch and the other side of the switch goes back to the outlet then just cut these wires and connect supply wire directly to outlet. If the supply goes to the switch first, disconnect from switch and connect the two wires with a wire-nut. Some situations only switch one of the two outlets in a duplex device. Do the same thing, but also replace the outlet since the strapping between both outlets has been removed.

What is the function of the switch in circuit?
A switch simply opens a circuit, stopping the flow of electricity. For example: a simple circuit would be two wires from a battery, one of which goes to a switch, and the other goes to a light bulb. A third wire goes from the other side of the switch to the other conductor of the light bulb. With the switch closed the circuit is complete and the light goes on. Open the switch and the circuit is broken and the light goes off.
